Town of Danville 233 Front Street Danville, CA 94526 August 30, 2018 RE: Danville Skatepark The following is a supplemental document to the Town of Danville, Skate Park feasibility Study. To date, we have conducted a thorough review of use areas within Town-owned recreation properties for the integration of a skateboard and other wheeled vehicle park.
